In Romania, a river navigation company that runs almost 500 vessels along the Danube every year is working with the European research project Prominent in an effort to make ships greener.
“We have to modernise because otherwise we’re out of the market,” says Tiganus Catalin, commercial director at Navrom. “Our vessels have to fulfil all the new EU regulations concerning air pollution, noise, nitrogen oxides, and so on.”
